LWRC's R.E.P.R. MKII-SC is a piston-driven semi-automatic rifle in 7.62 NATO with a 16-inch spiral-fluted barrel finished with a four-port muzzle brake. It has a Geissele trigger, a side charging handle, flip-up iron sights, fully ambidextrous controls, a flared magazine well, a B5 Systems stock and polymer grips with rubber texturing over an anodized finish. One 20-round magazine comes with it. We list it as used; the supplier calls it new and shows a stock photo.

Rifles are legal for deer in North Carolina gun season, which runs October 17 to January 1 in the Northeastern and Southeastern zones and opens in November elsewhere, and a 16-inch 7.62 is short enough to carry through thick cutover. The piston system and ambidextrous controls also make it a left-hand friendly range rifle. Wear hunter orange in gun season and check your county listing for the local dates.
